What do you like best about Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)?

Things such as fargate and managed nodegroups compliment the EKS pretty well. Took me less then 2 weeks to finish an all rounded POC using terraform for the entire setup. Would reccomend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)?

With its configurability comes complexity. You would have to learn a bunch of tools such as karpenter to even have the basics of a production grade cluster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Compared to kubeadm which we currently use, EKS is widely used and therefore slightly easier to debug due to detailed documentation provided by aws. Fargate helps us on cost optimisation due to granular scaling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

The essential features of AWS cloud are flexibility and fully-managed infrastructure feature.

AWS cloud gives the flexibility to choose the system configuration and availability. Also, It manages all the backed functionality of the server all by itself. We must choose the system according to our requirements, use whenever we like, and pay accordingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

There is nothing much to dislike about AWS Cloud since I have used this for a long time. The only thing which is a must to have when using AWS cloud is the internet. So If you don't have a good internet connection, you will experience slow service as everything is on the cloud, and you need good internet connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

AWS cloud is the most cost-effective solution for setting up a business. It eliminates the need for physical infrastructure and provides us with all the cloud facilities. It gives an entire or semi-managed infrastructure facility, saving time and cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

I've been a cloud engineer for a year and continue working on AWS as my cloud service provider. One of the best things that I like about AWS is:

1: its easy-to-use UI and one of the best features is its services; AWS provides almost every product and software engineering service.

2:one thing I would like to highlight at the end is its cost is significantly less as compared to other service providers.

3: AWS has more compliance certifications and security-related services than others.

4:AWS has rich documentation and support, making it easy for users to get started and troubleshoot any issues. AWS offers a range of support plans, including 24/7 support for critical issues of its users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

1:AWS offers per-hour billing, and the data transmission format is generally encrypted in the case of its competitor; I sometimes feel insecure.

2:One more thing I dislike about AWS takes 15-20 mins to spin up a simple website.

3:AWS is a proprietary platform; once an application is built on AWS, it can be challenging to migrate to another cloud platform, which may limit users' flexibility and increase costs in the long run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

AWS solving the problem of Infrastructure on demand , initially we need to buy huge servers now we don't need to buy any physical servers we can just simply scale depending on our needs , now in times of sales one of my clients they use AWS now sales season very high crowd visits their website and after-sales period sales drop to normal rate so they can't predict the number of customers and they cant buy large physical server without knowing the numbers ,so here AWS helped us to scale in and out depending on their need.

What do you like best about Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)?

The fact that Amazon EKS is a fully managed service is one of the aspects of it that I like the most. As a result, I can stop worrying about the supporting infrastructure, including the worker nodes and control plane nodes for Kubernetes. All of that is handled for me by Amazon EKS.

I also appreciate how seamlessly Amazon EKS interfaces with other AWS services. For instance, I can use Amazon Auto Scaling to scale my Kubernetes automatically clusters up or down in response to demand and use Amazon CloudWatch to monitor my clusters.

The advantages are that it is a fully-managed service , integrates well with other AWS services, easy to use and scalable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)?

A little bit expensive. Not as flexible as self-managed Kubernetes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have a Kubernetes cluster where private data is kept. To assist me in securing my cluster, Amazon EKS interfaces with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). As a result, I am confident that my data is secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
